Nick Jones – Agent Provocateur

Limey — Tue, 15 May 2012 21:22:09 +0000

In a move away from traditional lingerie advertising featuring windblown sultry super models and even their own racy films, Agent Provacateur enlisted LIMEY director Nick Jones to create a series of films that, while still racy, add a humorous dimension to their campaign for the “Classic Collection” of lingerie.

The first of those films, “The Chase” features a curiously attractive innocent bystander, who, while waiting patiently for her bus, witnesses a thief snatch a bag from an elderly woman. The attractive young woman gives chase and takes it upon herself to apprehend the thief, ignoring the unfortunate circumstances that result in first her sweater, and then her dress to be pulled away causing her to continue the chase dressed only in her lingerie and, thankfully, a sensible pair of everyday flats. The pursuit sends the two racing through a surprised TV watcher’s living room, down suburban streets, and hurtling over garbage in an alleyway before the chase concludes when our scantily clad heroine tackles the thief in broad daylight and lets him know “You’re going down!” followed by the tagline, “Sexy never takes a day off.”

This is the first of three films to be released by Agent Provocateur and directed by Nick Jones. After recent run ins with various advertising authorities it seems a smart choice by the client to create advertising directed towards those that actually may want to wear their lingerie.

Graeme Joyce – Lifetripper Review

Limey — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:54:53 +0000

Nice review for Graeme’s short film courtesy of This Hollywood Life.

Lifetripper is a short film detailing a glimpse into the day-to-day life of an everyday working man. Stunningly shot, and lovingly composed, this film is humorous and touching in equal measures.

Rob Benedict plays Stan, a single father and mechanic, whose daily conversations and routine lead him to unearthing a comedic flair. The monotonous tone of work and the slow pace of home life juxtapose perfectly with fast paced conversation and the bright lights of stand up comedy.

This tale of an average life, a search for something more, is artfully told and beautifully portrayed. Bitter-sweet, and funny in places, at only fifteen minutes in length, there is no reason that this film should be missed.

★★★★

Graeme Joyce – Bio

Limey — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:14:43 +0000

Graeme Joyce was raised in The Cotswolds, the heart of the English countryside. After a stint at art school, a summer visit to Los Angeles sparked an interest and a career in visual media. During time spent on the city’s commercial sets, Graeme shot some footage of a friend’s band using a Bolex hand cranked camera. Lip-sync was fudged in post and the resulting spec was seen by Scott Weiland who hired Joyce to direct two clips for his band Stone Temple Pilots. The Music Video Producer Association (MVPA) awarded the “Directorial Debut Award” to the band’s video “Wicked Garden” directed by Graeme.

With a loving memory of British adverts from his childhood as an inspiration, Graeme’s exquisite design sensibility and flair for storytelling led him into commercials, directing innovative spots for such impressive clients as Target, Mercedes and British Airways.

His short film ‘Lifetripper’, currently doing the festival circuit, is Graeme’s first venture into narrative film. The film written by Graeme follows the life of a middle-aged mechanic as he questiones his future whilst taking the bus to and from work. The bitter sweet film recently won Best Drama at the Super Shorts 2011 International Film Festival in London.

Whatever the medium, Robert Bresson’s sentiment that ‘It is with something clean and precise that you will force the attention of inattentive eyes and ears’ is an aesthetic approach held in high regard by Graeme.

He currently lives in Silver Lake, Los Angeles with his family.
